Product Information

I thought that I wasn't supposed to bathe my dog too much. Should I really use this medicated shampoo several times a week? Remember, while antifungal and anti-yeast shampoos can help treat and manage skin conditions, they’re not a substitute for proper veterinary care. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek professional veterinary assistance. The first step in treating a yeast infection in dogs is to obtain an accurate diagnosis from your veterinarian. Your vet will be able to confirm that your dog’s skin problems are, in fact, caused by a fungal overgrowth and may recommend a course of treatment. In severe cases, oral medications may be necessary to treat yeast infections, but many dogs do well with medicated ear solutions and/or antifungal and antibacterial dog shampoos. Active ingredients play a vital role in combating fungal infections effectively. Two common active ingredients found in antifungal dog shampoos are ketoconazole and chlorhexidine gluconate. This might not be marketed precisely for stinky dogs, but its signature fragrance, “Mercer Street”, will make your pooch smell of Parisian chic. It contains notes of Italian lemon, Turkish rose, jasmine sambac and white musk. Ouai is known for its superior shampoos for human hair, and their pet range is just as high-quality while containing ingredients specifically chosen for the health and safety for dogs’ skin and fur.

As a veterinarian, I understand the complexities of skin conditions in dogs. Even with this curated list of shampoos, you should first visit your veterinarian, who will diagnose your dog's skin condition and recommend a medicated dog shampoo if appropriate. Be aware that a prescription medicated dog shampoo may be the best choice over an over-the-counter (OTC) shampoo. Always follow your veterinarian's instructions for using any shampoo. If you're looking for a nonmedicated formula, we cover them in our guide to the best dog shampoos. An additional ingredient, chlorhexidine, is an antibacterial agent that can treat skin conditions like bacterial dermatitis. Chlorhexidine also has antifungal properties, giving the shampoo a slight edge in antifungal activity over Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Antiseptic and Antifungal Shampoo. In addition to these functions, chlorhexidine can help treat minor skin injuries, such as those caused by superficial cuts and insect bites. If yeast hypersensitivity is suspected, your veterinarian or dermatologist may recommend running blood and/or skin tests to confirm this diagnosis. How is yeast dermatitis treated? One of the primary components of high-grade antifungal shampoos for dogs is essential oils with potent antifungal properties. These natural ingredients have been used for centuries due to their effectiveness against fungal infections. Tea tree oil, for example, is commonly found in antifungal dog shampoos and is known for its antimicrobial activity. It helps eliminate fungi and soothes irritated skin. Inactive Ingredients: As far as the inactive ingredients, this is where you want to look for natural products. Typically, shampoo manufacturers use active ingredients to fight fungal or bacterial infections and “natural” or “organic” products to soothe, moisturize, and relieve itching.Multimodal therapies: Shampoo alone may not be enough to treat your pet’s infection. Your veterinarian may prescribe oral or systemic antifungal treatments if your pet has a severe infection. Topical creams or wipes may also be useful for infections around delicate tissues like the eyes and mouth. Using the best antifungal shampoo for dogs is essential for maintaining their skin health and overall hygiene. These shampoos not only prevent and treat fungal infections in dogs but also provide numerous other benefits. Let's delve into why using antifungal shampoos is so important. Prevents and Treats Fungal Infections in Dogs

If your dog is dealing with allergies, Head and Shoulders isn’t often recommended. Most dog allergies will present in hives or rashes, and these are treated with prescription products designed to help your dog recover. Going with an allergy-based salve or medication will be safer. If you can’t get ahold of your vet, your best choice is to keep it simple and use warm water. It’ll help promote more comfort for your dog, and the last thing you want to do is worsen a problem unknowingly by using a seemingly harmless children’s shampoo that you shouldn’t. What to use instead of Head and Shoulders? If your dog has particularly oily, waxy or scaly skin, you might need to wash them multiple times, first with a normal shampoo to remove the grease – an impediment to the antifungal shampoo’s effectiveness – then using the more intensive cleansing regimen. Oral treatment for yeast dermatitisWhat can I feed my dog that has a yeast infection? –If your dog has signs of yeast infection in one part of his body, it’s likely present in other areas as well. Widespread yeast infection is sometimes a sign of a dietary problem. Internal yeast infections often develop in the dog’s digestive tract when there is an abundance of starch in his diet, so switching to a low-starch dog food might help. Common sources of starch in dog food include grains like wheat, corn, and rice as well as peas, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.
